this was a great blog post. i personally dont think you were looking at things from a strict binary. a wise friend once told me, that the patriarchy is not only about men, just as feminism is not only about women

thank u for reading limovars!! and yea, def true. binary thinking in my eyes more applies to the diversity of gender experience but hard agree, patriarchy affects us all

I remember being a teen and having classmates who LOVED the song "Kim" by Eminem and I never really found a great way to voice out my discomfort, especially then since I did not come as transmasc yet. It's interesting to look back at the music of that era and see how the culture has shifted and changed since then.

totally, i feel like things are more implicit now... a song like that released today i'm sure would raise some red flags

super interesting post, @ my job i am very often the only woman in a room and don't have female colleagues i work w regularly. it is a weird double edged sword bc i don't Want to be the only woman and hate that awk feeling but it does feel like i automatically stand out from other ppl and get selected for unique opps bc im competent and am superficially yet immediately different from other similarly competent ppl.

re; the rest of your post-- its crazy how much bigotry plays into everyday jokes and assumptions. i try to always challenge it where i can esp with ppl i feel comfortable with

thank u for reading batqualia and so true that it's a double edged sword... and same!! i do my best to point it out and challenge my friends but icl it's hard to speak up sometimes

added a snip of the song lol... if ur curious to listen, it's on the sept 26 blog entry

DUUUUDE this song sounds so lovely oh my goodness, the description you wrote for it yesterday describes it perfectly, could easily see either image from the post being the cover art...

ahhh ty tofokyo i appreciate it <3

Can't wait! :D
